Stripes are period appropriate and my heart jumped thinking it was the sweet Triumph GT6 but alas, it is just a Spitfire with a removable hardtop.
Still nice though and no fails.
The GT6 had the best 2L, inline, push rod six evah! The engine was a lump when stroked to 2.5L for the TR6 IMO.

I was talking about the piece he has sticking up out of his backpack. I, like the fake Native American from the commercial of my youth, am against littering so it is nice to see he cleaned up his own mess. All of these 'parts trees' around the country have plenty of crap mounted on them already.

You, sir, are mistaken. That's not part of his motorcycle. It's his shark fin. He's part of a biker gang, the Sharks, and he's flashing a gang signal to the camera. "When the shark bites"....

Is that back wheel leaning way in?

GT6 has a fastback (I think it was a hatch) and the bonnet had somewhat of a cowling to accomadate the straight six. The rear suspension on the Spit was crazy (dangerous) as it was a transverse leaf spring (which is why it is leaning in so hard). Drive her with non bias ply tires and she was all over the place. The 1500 cc engine was a dog even in its day!
